US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, during a visit to Bratislava on Sunday, assured that the United States is not leaving NATO and that it still views Europe as a valuable ally and its oldest friend. Although he did not rule out a possible relocation of troops, he stressed that such movements are common practice in the Alliance's history.
Rubio met with Prime Minister Robert Fico and Foreign Minister Juraj Blanár. The main topics of the talks were security interests, strengthening cooperation, and the future of the relationship with NATO. During the meeting, Fico offered US assistance in resolving the war in Ukraine. The minister also announced that further chapters of cooperation are set to be opened.
On his way to Bratislava, Rubio also visited Munich, where an international security conference was held. At the event, he emphasized that the United States and Europe belong together and that Americans sometimes express themselves bluntly because they expect reciprocity from their friends. Rubio also indicated US expectations of Europe, including halting migration, rebuilding industry, and strengthening defense capabilities. According to available information, the visit to Slovakia is the first visit by a senior US official to Slovakia in several years and signals Washington's continued commitment to the Central European region.
